THIRTEEN

"Original," "scary," and "absorbing" are only a few of the words that describe this audiobook featuring 13 horror stories. They were purportedly discovered in an old English shop on 13 records, each with a hidden track predicting even stranger happenings in the future. In many ways, this production is reminiscent of vintage TV serials performed each week by a different narrator and cast. The result is one of the most intriguing and entertaining audiobooks in years. Performed by 14 narrators, the stories are remarkable, and the use of a different reader gives each story a unique personality. Even more pleasing is the fact that every performance and tale is worth hearing. D.J.S. 2014 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
